21 APR 2024 · What are practical ways we can steward the Earth? How do we lead our communities towards positive solutions to safeguard our cities, neighborhoods, and the next generation from the effects of a warming world and life-threatening pollution? As we gear up for Earth Day on April 22, Julia sits down with Pastor Jenney Rice to discuss creation care and why it matters.

7 APR 2024 · For the month of April, we wanted to revisit an episode we aired a couple of years back about how followers of Jesus can be good stewards of our environment and think biblically about creation care. It’s not an unpopular opinion today to say that Christians aren't necessarily known to care about the environment. But in this conversation, our executive pastor Daniel Nathan and co-senior pastor Eric Pickerill sit down with Rev. Mitchell Hescox – the President Emeritus of the Evangelical Environmental Network  - and hear Mitch unpack why he believes climate change and creation care is the greatest moral challenge of our time and how we can find opportunity for hope in building sustainable prosperity for all. Founded in 1993, EEN is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that equips, inspires and mobilizes people of faith to worship God and love their neighbor by caring for creation. Rev. Hescox has authored numerous books, has testified before Congress, has spoken at the White House, presented at the Vatican and the council for Foreign Relations. He’s appeared on CNN, NPR, MSNBC amongst other radio and television programs. https://creationcare.org/ https://www.amazon.com/Caring-Creation-Evangelicals-Climate-Environment/dp/0764218654

18 FEB 2024 · Listen in as Julia and Adrienne talk about practical ways we can stop and choose friendship as they dive deeper into February's conversation with Ms. JoAnne Bland.

4 FEB 2024 · During her lifetime, JoAnne Bland has been a witness and participant in some of our nation’s most consequential civil rights battles. She began her civil rights activism in the early 1960s. The Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) activists organized Bland and other area children and teenagers to participate in the civil rights movement. In the front lines of the struggle, the young Bland marched on "Bloody Sunday" and "Turn Around Tuesday," and the first leg of the successful March from Selma to Montgomery, witnessing brutal beatings of fellow marchers by police. The young Bland was also one of seven Black students to integrate A. G. Parish High School. By the time she was 11 years old Bland had been arrested 13 times. Ms. Bland’s early involvement in the struggle against “Jim Crow” has been the foundation for her civil and human rights work throughout her life. She’s a much sought after speaker with a compelling personal story of civil rights activism, and has spoken around the country. Currently, Ms. Bland is the owner and operator of Journeys For The Soul, a touring agency that specializes in Civil Rights tours with a major focus on Selma, Alabama. @ facebook.com/journeysforthesoul https://www.iamjoannebland.com/
